PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo still on Manchester United radar as Cristiano Ronaldo replacement
Manchester United are still monitoring PSV Eindhoven star Cody Gakpo as a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo at the end of next season, according to Forbes (h/t Mirror).
The Red Devils have the Holland international in their sights during the recent transfer window. However, the Old Trafford side pulled out after agreeing on a move for Antony from Ajax.
United were looking to bolster their forward line in the summer of 2022, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner angling for a move away from Manchester. Ronaldo wanted a move to a Champions League side.
However, the Portugal international ended up staying at United. But given that the 37-year-old can leave at the end of the season, the Red Devils are searching for replacements.
And Gakpo is someone United have already agreed personal terms with. The Holland international had offers from other Premier League clubs as well in the recent transfer window. However, he opted to stay in the Eredivisie.
Gakpo has gotten off to a blistering start in the 2022/23 campaign. The 23-year-old has registered 10 goals and nine assists in 13 appearances in all competitions.
